public void copyAxis(Axis axis)
</div>
<p class="heading2">Description</p>
<div class="content">
Copies the scale and labels from another axis.<br><br>
This method is typically used to ensure the axes on different charts are identical. For example, if multiple charts are draw and are stacked up, and you want the x-axes of the charts to be the same for easy comparison, you may copy the x-axis from one chart to the other charts.<br><br>
The differences between copyAxis and <a href="Axis.syncAxis.htm">Axis.syncAxis</a> are:<br><br>
<ul> <li><a href="Axis.syncAxis.htm">Axis.syncAxis</a> relates the axes with a linear relationship, so the axes may not be exact copies of one another.<br><br>
<li><a href="Axis.syncAxis.htm">Axis.syncAxis</a> synchronizes axis scale and copies only scale related labels, such as the labels generated by auto-scaling, <a href="Axis.setLinearScale.htm">Axis.setLinearScale</a>, <a href="Axis.setLogScale.htm">Axis.setLogScale</a> or <a href="Axis.setDateScale.htm">Axis.setDateScale</a>.<br><br>
<li>copyAxis copies all labels, including labels created using <a href="Axis.setLabels.htm">Axis.setLabels</a> and <a href="Axis.setLabels2.htm">Axis.setLabels2</a>, which may be arbitrary text. </ul>
